I'm going this weekend as well. I plan to just bum a few meals off my hiking partner. Don't tell him.

I’m interested in the thermarest neolight pad and sent a PM.
I agree with Elaikases. Pack fit is very personal. I love my circuit. It fits like a glove and I have no problems with "lumpiness". It has everything I need regarding size, hip belt pockets, and...
I would recommend doing the approach trail. However, I would also recommend dropping your pack off at the top of the falls and climbing the stairs pack free. You’ll thank me later. That’s a lot of...
Just saw Ron's FB page had pics of the parking lots at both Springer and Dicks Creek that were almost full. Are there lots of hikers out there? We were planning to go this Sunday from Three Forks...
Very dissapointing to hear this Straich as myself and a hiking partner were set to hit the trail at Woody Gap next Sunday (one week). Sounds like we should second guess that decision. Thanks for...
Prayers for your family. So sorry to hear of your loss.

He's selling $5 bumper stickers. Where are you going to market that product if not here? If you don't like it just move on.
Now if he post this weekly, that's different....
Good,luck Peter Pan....
I see you are from Fl. I am from S. GA and, like you, experience the heat daily. It is warm on the GA section in Sept. but not miserable. Everything said above is true. The NC mountains would be...
I grew up on a farm in middle Georgia. In the early 80's pine beetles began making an impact on an area that was almost exclusively pines. Now - 30 years later - there is nothing but hardwoods...
One word - TIME.
Just one mans opinion. I have three ULA packs (my whole family hikes) and have had great service from the company. I have not had any major issues, but did have an area come loose on my left...
This is certainly one mans opinion. But, other than the falls and the Hike Inn, I did not find this hike real special. I've done it and checked it off the list. But I agree with soumodeler that...
I agree with Muddywaters. In my opinion, you've got too much weight for either pack. The upper limit of these packs is ok to push for a week or weekend. But you don't want to walk 2000+ miles with...
Im not a lady and I've never used the Rab bags. However, I can tell you that you will not be sorry that you purchased a WM bag. I have the Ultralite and the Megalite. The Megalite is 30* which...
I have the insulated double Z and it is extremely comfortable. Certainly not light weight but not so heavy I exclude it either. Carried it for 2 weeks on the AT last fall and it was wonderful. ...
One more opinion. I did the Georgia section last September. We started at Amicalola and hiked the approach trail as part of our hike. I don't regret it. However, do yourself a favor and stow your...
To limit your driving time there are a few places in South Georgia that provide weekend loops/trails for hiking.
I second the Pine Mountain Trail if you are looking for a quick long weekend hike...
I left my car there for 8 days this past September. Besides the typical advise (locks, no visible valuables, etc) I would recommend getting there fairly early. The lot is small and if it is a popular...
Thanks for the info. I was actually thinking early-mid May. That may work out perfectly.
I would like to hike Springer to Dicks creek this spring but want to avoid the thru hiker bubble. I don't have anything against them, I just want to avoid the crowd. What are the most common dates...
Mine is a couple years old and I'm not sure if significant changes have been made to the design. But, I have been pleased with its warmth for the weight. I don't have hard numbers for you, but I...
Soumodeler is right. I was at the gap about a month ago and no cell service (verizon). However, you don't have to go far at all to get excellent service. If you're calling for a pick up at Dick's...
I was shuttled about an hour with one other passenger (2 of us total) and he charged $90. I must admit I thought that was a little high but he was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I...
KBKjr. I'm not sure about the weight of the shirts, but I they are fairly thin. They do not say Tech Lite on them.
